<hr />
<p>An SSH Transport attaches to a stream (usually a socket), negotiates 
  an encrypted session, authenticates, and then creates stream tunnels, 
  called <a href="paramiko.Channel-class.html" class="link">Channel</a>s, 
  across the session.  Multiple channels can be multiplexed across a single
  session (and often are, in the case of port forwardings).</p>

  <p>Create a new SSH session over an existing socket, or socket-like 
  object.  This only creates the Transport object; it doesn't begin the SSH
  session yet.  Use <a href="paramiko.Transport-class.html#connect"

  class="link">start_client</a> to begin a client session, or <a 
  href="paramiko.Transport-class.html#start_server" 
  class="link">start_server</a> to begin a server session.</p>
  <p>If the object is not actually a socket, it must have the following 
  methods:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>
      <code>send(str)</code>: Writes from 1 to <code>len(str)</code> bytes,
      and returns an int representing the number of bytes written.  Returns
      0 or raises <code>EOFError</code> if the stream has been closed.
    </li>
    <li>
      <code>recv(int)</code>: Reads from 1 to <code>int</code> bytes and 
      returns them as a string.  Returns 0 or raises <code>EOFError</code> 
      if the stream has been closed.
    </li>
    <li>
      <code>close()</code>: Closes the socket.
    </li>
    <li>
      <code>settimeout(n)</code>: Sets a (float) timeout on I/O operations.
    </li>
  </ul>
  <p>For ease of use, you may also pass in an address (as a tuple) or a 
  host string as the <code>sock</code> argument.  (A host string is a 
  hostname with an optional port (separated by <code>&quot;:&quot;</code>) 
  which will be converted into a tuple of <code>(hostname, port)</code>.)  
  A socket will be connected to this address and used for communication.  
  Exceptions from the <code>socket</code> call may be thrown in this 
  case.</p>

  <p>Authenticate to the server interactively.  A handler is used to answer
  arbitrary questions from the server.  On many servers, this is just a 
  dumb wrapper around PAM.</p>
  <p>This method will block until the authentication succeeds or fails, 
  peroidically calling the handler asynchronously to get answers to 
  authentication questions.  The handler may be called more than once if 
  the server continues to ask questions.</p>
  <p>The handler is expected to be a callable that will handle calls of the
  form: <code>handler(title, instructions, prompt_list)</code>.  The 
  <code>title</code> is meant to be a dialog-window title, and the 
  <code>instructions</code> are user instructions (both are strings).  
  <code>prompt_list</code> will be a list of prompts, each prompt being a 
  tuple of <code>(str, bool)</code>.  The string is the prompt and the 
  boolean indicates whether the user text should be echoed.</p>
  <p>A sample call would thus be: <code>handler('title', 'instructions', 
  [('Password:', False)])</code>.</p>
  <p>The handler should return a list or tuple of answers to the server's 
  questions.</p>
  <p>If the server requires multi-step authentication (which is very rare),
  this method will return a list of auth types permissible for the next 
  step.  Otherwise, in the normal case, an empty list is returned.</p>

  <p>In server mode, the remote client may request 
  &quot;group-exchange&quot; key negotiation, which asks the server to send
  a random prime number that fits certain criteria.  These primes are 
  pretty difficult to compute, so they can't be generated on demand.  But 
  many systems contain a file of suitable primes (usually named something 
  like <code>/etc/ssh/moduli</code>). If you call 
  <code>load_server_moduli</code> and it returns <code>True</code>, then 
  this file of primes has been loaded and we will support 
  &quot;group-exchange&quot; in server mode.  Otherwise server mode will 
  just claim that it doesn't support that method of key negotiation.</p>
